Physicians quality care jobs

Ever wondered why Manchester gets more investment than Liverpool and why so many hotels and student flats are being built here? One of the most important answers sounds dull and might surprise you - it’s the price of office space. City leaders say Liverpool city centre is so short of office space that it’s damaging our ability to attract new jobs and investment to the city. Other cities have more top-class new “Grade A” space ready to use, but there’s very little here. Estate agents say rents aren’t high enough to encourage developers to build offices, as those builders can’t make enough money on the deals.

Trump fired his first secretary, David Shulkin, in March after concerns about unauthorized … [Read more...] about White House doctor steps back from Trump veterans job after controversy
